Two persons informed me of some traditional Catholic moral code, namely
Nine ways of being an accessory to another’s sin.
1. By Counsel
2. By Command
3. By Consent
4. By Concealment
5. By Defense of Evil Done
6. By Partaking
7. By Provocation
8. By Praise
9. By Silence
Catholics who subscribe to this should be strongly condemning the FBI’s actions in the Oregon case and other similar instances. One person writes: “I knew many FBI and Treasury (IRS) agents over the years. Most have retired. From the late ’70′s these decent, (mostly) Catholic men became more and more disenchanted with their agencies — especially the FBI agents. The remaining few still living hate to talk about their feelings of betrayal; a few tried and couldn’t continue — it really choked them up, tears and all.”
